I would say that would have nothing to do with a backfire through the carb

What's your water pressure @ 3000, 4000, and 5000 rpm? My Eliminator for whatever reason had extremely high water pressure above 4500 rpm. I could run all day long @ 4000, once I reached 4500 it would leak water pass the intake gaskets every time. Took me a while to figure it out but my water pressure was spiking to 40 lbs:eek: . I installed a relief valve and a dump out the rear and never had a problem again, 20lbs. of pressure wot.:D This might be something to check.

I have heard that from more than one person. It might be a good security just to put one in.
